Saginaw acquires Amestoy from Storm

The Saginaw Spirit announced today the team has completed a trade with the Guelph Storm, acquiring forward Carlos Amestoy for the Spirit's fifth round pick in the 2012 Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection, a seventh round selection in 2013 and a fourth round pick in 2014.

Amestoy had been playing for the University of Maine Black Bears, a Division I program in the NCAA's Hockey East loop.

The Toronto native is a 1992 birth year, having appeared in 15 games over the past two seasons.

It is expected that Amestoy will join the Spirit during this weekend's three-game set in Eastern Ontario that begins tonight in Ottawa against the 67's.
